Herein, for example, the transistor application of oxide semiconductor will be used in the first transistor 159.Use oxide half The transistor of conductor has the feature of significantly small off-state electric current., can be when the first transistor 159 ends due to this reason During current potential at second node is kept extremely growing.When storage arrangement includes the second capacitor 161, can be easier Ground keeps being supplied to the electric charge of the second node.In the accompanying drawings, letter character " OS " is placed in the circuit symbol of the first transistor 159 Lower section is to indicate that the first transistor 159 is the transistor using oxide semiconductor.
Via the first transistor 159, by input data signal (Data）The second node is input to, and in the second capacitor Electric charge corresponding with input data signal is accumulated in 161.
Reading circuit 155 is electrically connected to the circuit of the second node, and it is according to read signal（OS_RD) read and the second node Locate signal corresponding to the electric charge of holding, and exported the signal of reading as output signal Q.Reading circuit 155, which is connected to, not to be shown The power supply for going out and being driven by power supply potential.Therefore, the storage arrangement of this embodiment need not be provided with the voltage for being used for generating current potential Converter etc., so as to facilitate the reduction of power consumption.
Reading circuit 155 in the present embodiment includes transistor, and its grid is electrically connected to the second electricity of the first transistor 159 Pole and the electrode of the second capacitor 161.Using this structure, the gate electrode of the transistor in reading circuit is connected to the second node, This make it that the off-state electric current that reading circuit is flowed to from the second node is minimum.Correspondingly, the second node can be kept for a long time Electric charge.
For example, reading circuit 155 can have the circuit configuration shown in Fig. 3.
Reading circuit 155 in Fig. 3, which includes having, is electrically connected to the second node（M2）Gate electrode second transistor 301st, with the third transistor 303 with the identical conduction type of second transistor 301 and with second transistor 301 and the 3rd 4th transistor 305 of the different conduction-types of transistor 303.In the present embodiment, second transistor 301 and third transistor 303 be n-channel transistor, and the 4th transistor 305 is p-channel transistor.
The gate electrode of second transistor 301 is electrically connected to the second electrode and second capacitor 161 of the first transistor 159 Electrode, and form the second node for wherein keeping electric charge（M2）.Second transistor 301 first electrode ground connection, and its second Electrode is electrically connected to the first electrode of third transistor 303.
The second electrode of third transistor 303 is electrically connected to the first electrode of the 4th transistor 305, and the 4th transistor 305 second electrode is electrically connected to power supply.
By read signal（OS_RD the gate electrode of third transistor 303 and the gate electrode of the 4th transistor 305) are input to.Cause There is different conduction types for the transistor 305 of third transistor 303 and the 4th, so when third transistor 303 and the 4th is brilliant When one of body pipe 305 turns on, other in which cut-off.
The electrode ground connection of 3rd capacitor 307.Another electrode of 3rd capacitor 307 is electrically connected to the 3rd crystal The second electrode of pipe 303, the first electrode of the 4th transistor 305 and phase inverter 309, to form the 3rd node（M3）.
The input of phase inverter 309 is electrically connected to the 3rd node（M3）.Therefore, the current potential at the 3rd node is input to down Phase device 309.The output end of phase inverter 309 is used as the output end of reading circuit 155.Therefore, the value conduct exported from phase inverter 309 The value kept in storage arrangement is read.
The configuration of reading circuit 155 is not limited to arrangements described above, and reading circuit 155 can be using comparator etc. Circuit, as long as it is to can determine the second node（M2）Locate the circuit of the amount of the electric charge kept.
Next, description to be used for the method for storage arrangement for driving the present embodiment.Fig. 4 A and Fig. 4 B are according to this hair The timing diagram of bright driving storage arrangement.
Fig. 4 A are the timing diagrams of the write operation of the storage arrangement of the present embodiment.In timing diagram, Vs is represented from power supply The current potential of controller is input to, and OS_WE represents the current potential of write signal.Furthermore A1 represents another of the first capacitor 157 The current potential of electrode, Data represent the current potential of input data signal, and M1 represents that the current potential of the first node, and M2 represent the second node Current potential.
In the initial state, the first node is grounded, and does not accumulate electricity so as to be connected in the first capacitor 157 of the first node Lotus.Therefore, the current potential at the first node is earthing potential.Similarly, by the second node（M2）The current potential at place is set to earthing potential. Power supply is conducting in the initial state（H- level potentials）.Pay attention to, the current potential of H- level signals is power supply potential Vdd.
It will describe to be used for the method for writing data into device.
In the first step of write-in storage arrangement, write signal will be used as（OS_WE）H- level signals be input to control Device 151 and delay circuit 153 processed.When H- level signals are input to controller, power supply potential is input into the first node, then Current potential at first node（M1）Rise to power supply potential Vdd（Referring to T1 during in Fig. 4 A）.
When power supply potential Vdd is input into the first node, accumulated in the first capacitor 157 for being connected to the first node Electric charge corresponding with power supply potential Vdd, and between precharge phase（T1 during in Fig. 4 A）Terminate.
In following second step, the write signal of the delay circuit is will enter into by delay circuit 153（H- level is believed Number）Delay, and it is input to another electrode of the first capacitor 157（A1）（Referring to T2 during in Fig. 4 A）.
Response H- level signals are input to another electrode of the first capacitor 157, the first capacitor 157 this another The current potential of the current potential rising input signal of electrode, i.e. rise the current potential equal to H- level signals（=power supply potential Vdd) current potential. To this response, because another electrode capacitance with the first capacitor 157 couples, so an electricity of the first capacitor 157 Pole also rises power supply potential Vdd.
Now, the electric charge corresponding with power supply potential of middle accumulation is accumulated in the first capacitor 157 between precharge phase.Control The diode included in device 151 processed keeps the electric charge accumulated in the first node.Therefore, when input prolonging from delay circuit 153 During slow signal, the current potential of an electrode of the first capacitor 157 reaches to be added by electric charge caused by the input signal by delay The current potential that middle accumulation obtains corresponding to power supply potential Vdd electric charge between upper precharge phase, preferably 2Vdd.In other words, exist Bootstrapping operation used by being performed in second step by means of the current potential at Capacitance Coupled the first node of lifting.
In following third step, the current potential of the first node of response rises, and the first transistor 159 is switched on, Ran Houjing Input data signal is input to the second node by the first transistor 159（M2）（Referring to T2 and period T3 during in Fig. 4 A）.
Power supply potential or earthing potential are input to the first electrode of the first transistor 159 as input data signal（Source Electrode）.In order to turn on the first transistor 159, the current potential for being higher than power supply potential is needed to the gate electrode of the first transistor.
But if realizing the input of high potential using voltage changer, power consumption can be increased.Furthermore because voltage The conversion efficiency of converter is not 100%, so causing electrical piano power loss using voltage changer.
But the storage arrangement of the present embodiment can utilize above-mentioned bootstrapping operation in the case of no voltage changer To input high potential to the gate electrode of the first transistor 159, so as to realize high speed operation.Because voltage changer can be reduced Quantity, so the circuit for reducing power consumption can be formed.
When the first transistor 159 turns on, input data signal is input to the second node via the first transistor 159, and And electric charge corresponding with input data signal is accumulated in the second capacitor.
As input data signal, input power current potential or earthing potential.Herein, by input power current potential（H- level is believed Number）It is considered as write-in data " 1 ", and by input grounding current potential（L- level signals）It is considered as write-in data " 0 ".By optionally One of input data, 1 data can be written to storage arrangement.
Now, due to bootstrapping operation, no matter the current potential of input data signal（Power supply potential or earthing potential）Such as What, the current potential of the gate electrode of the first transistor 159 is 2Vdd, so the first electrode of the first transistor 159（Source electrode）With grid The difference of the current potential of electrode is enough turned on the first transistor 159 with high speed.Therefore, the write operation to storage arrangement can be with Perform at a high speed.
It can be grasped by booting that input data signal is input to the time residing for the first electrode of the first transistor 159 Make any time before the current potential at the first node of lifting.In the present embodiment, input data signal in the first step will Write signal（OS_WE）Current potential be set to be transfused to while H level.
Herein, device is write data into be done.In a subsequent step, memory device is held data in In putting, and by dump, will be described.
In four steps, controller 151 and delay circuit 153 are input to using L- level signals as write signal.Response L- level signals are input to controller as write signal, and earthing potential is input to the first node by controller 151.Thus, first The electric charge accumulated in node is released, so that the current potential at the first node is changed into earthing potential（Referring to T4 during in Fig. 4 A）.
To this response, the current potential for being electrically connected to the gate electrode of the first transistor 159 of the first node is changed into earthing potential, and And the first transistor 159 is ended, this stops input data signal and inputted to the second node.
The first transistor 159 is the transistor that raceway groove is formed wherein on oxide semiconductor.Correspondingly, the crystal pipe There is minimum off-state electric current.Even if the first transistor 159 is ended and the input to the input data signal of the second node stops Only, the electric charge accumulated in the second node still is able to keep for a long time.
Therefore, even if power supply is cut off and the input to the electrical power of storage arrangement stops, the number of the second node is write According to still being able to keep for a long time.It is not essential that the offer of electrical power is kept for data；Correspondingly, work(can be reduced Consumption.
By aforesaid operations, data can be maintained in storage arrangement.
Next, it will describe to be used for the operation for reading the data being maintained in storage arrangement.Fig. 4 B are to read memory The timing diagram of the data kept in device.In the present embodiment, carried using the circuit shown in Fig. 3 as reading circuit 155 For the description of read operation.
In Fig. 4 B timing diagram, Vs represents the current potential of power supply, and OS_RD represents the current potential of read signal, and M3 represents the 3rd electricity Another electrode of container 307, and Q represent the current potential of the output of storage arrangement.The storage arrangement exports and the second knot Signal corresponding to the electric charge kept at point.Pay attention to, Fig. 4 B sequential, which illustrates, is stored in H- level signals in storage arrangement In the case of operation.
Before read operation, as read signal（OS_RD L- level signals) are inputted.Accordingly, as n-channel transistor Third transistor 303 be in off-state.On the other hand, the 4th transistor 305 as p-channel transistor is on state. When the 4th transistor 305 turns on, power electric connection to the 3rd capacitor 307 so that charge accumulation corresponding with power supply potential In the 3rd capacitor 307（Referring to T5 during in Fig. 4 B）.
Pay attention to, because before power supply conducting, the amount for the electric charge accumulated in the 3rd capacitor 307 is unlimited, so when In sequence figure using dotted line by such state representation as infinitely great state（X）
In the data stored in reading storage arrangement, first by read signal（OS_RD H- level signals) are set to（Period T6）.The input of H- level signals is responded, the 4th transistor 305 as p-channel transistor is ended, and is used as n-channel crystal The third transistor 303 of pipe is switched on.Therefore, the 3rd capacitor 307 disconnects with power supply and electrically connected, and thus in the 3rd capacitor The electric charge of accumulation flows to third transistor 303.
Now, because the 3rd capacitor 303 is conducting, the electric charge accumulated in the 3rd capacitor 307 is via the 3rd Transistor 303 flows into second transistor 301.Now, if keeping H- level signals at the second node M2, and H- level is believed The gate electrode of second transistor 301 number is input to, then second transistor 301 turns on, and the electricity accumulated in the 3rd capacitor 307 Lotus is flowed and is discharged into through second transistor 301 in earthing potential.Therefore, the current potential of another electrode of the 3rd capacitor 307 It is changed into L level（Referring to T6 during in Fig. 4 B）.
Then, L- level signals are input to phase inverter 309, and H- level signals is exported from phase inverter 309.Because paraphase The output of device 309 is extracted as the output of storage arrangement, so exporting H- level signals from storage arrangement.
Herein, the situation of the on the other hand holding L- level signals at the second node will be described.
In the case of keeping L- level signals at the second node, second transistor 301 ends.It is even if defeated as read signal When entering H- level signals to turn on third transistor 303, the 3rd capacitor 307 is still not attached to earthing potential, and keeps accumulation Electric charge.
Therefore, the electric charge accumulated in the 3rd capacitor（Power supply potential=H- level signals）Phase inverter 309 is input into, Then it is changed into L- level from the output of phase inverter 309.Correspondingly, storage arrangement output L- level signals.
By above-mentioned operation, reading circuit 155 reads the second crystal according to the conduction and cut-off state of second transistor 301 The electric charge kept in the gate electrode of pipe 301, and read signal corresponding with the data kept at the second node.
By aforesaid operations, storage arrangement have read data.
After read operation completion, read signal is returned into L- level（Referring to T7 during in Fig. 4 B）.As reading In the case of signal input L- level signals, the 4th transistor 305 as p-channel transistor is conducting, and in the 3rd electricity Electric charge corresponding with power supply potential is accumulated in container 307.
During L- level signals are inputted as read signal, regardless of the current potential kept at the second node, from memory The output of device is L level.Therefore, data are read from storage arrangement only to perform during read signal is H level.Due to this Reason, infinity is expressed as in timing diagram from the output of memory during H- level signals input not as read signal （x）.
In order to further reduce power consumption, reading circuit 155 can have a structure in which：In power supply and the 4th transistor Switch is set between 305 with when read signal is in L level, i.e., when being not carried out read operation, cut off the electricity supply and other elements Between connection.
By the use of boostrap circuit and thus the storage arrangement of the present embodiment is to be used only to be equal in operation to write as data The storage arrangement of the current potential of the current potential of the signal entered.Specifically, will power grid of the current potential from power input to transistor The first node connected with an electrode of the first capacitor, so as to by charge accumulation in the first node.Then, electricity will be equal to The current potential of source electric potential puts on another electrode of the first capacitor, so that the current potential of the grid of transistor is changed to above power supply electricity Position.The current potential of the grid of transistor can realize that high-speed data writes higher than power supply potential, and can reduce voltage changer Quantity, so as to reduce the power consumption of storage arrangement.
The storage arrangement of the present embodiment uses the transistor conduct that channel layer is formed wherein in oxide semiconductor layer Form the transistor for the node for keeping data.Therefore, off-state electric current is reduced, so as to which the storage arrangement can be kept for a long time The data stored.
The storage arrangement of the present embodiment controls boostrap circuit and data input electricity using delay circuit with a signal Road, so as to configure the circuit to form lower power consumption with relatively simple circuit.
The storage arrangement of the present embodiment can be combined suitably with any other embodiment.
（Embodiment 2）
In the present embodiment, the structure of the controller included in the storage arrangement that will be described in embodiment 1, this structure is not The structure being same as in embodiment 1.
Fig. 5 is the circuit diagram of the controller included in the storage arrangement of the present embodiment.In the present embodiment, embodiment 1 Described in point not repeat, and will the main description point different from those in embodiment 1.
In addition to the element shown in Fig. 2, the controller 151 in Fig. 5 has second switch between diode 201 and power supply Transistor 503, second switch transistor 503 have the conduction type different from first switch transistor 203.
Through phase inverter 202 by write signal（OS_WE）It is input to the gate electrode of second transistor 503.Second switch transistor 503 first electrode is electrically connected to power supply, and the second electrode of second switch transistor 503 is electrically connected to through diode 201 First node M1.
First switch transistor 203 is to determine the switch whether the first node is grounded.Second switch transistor 503 is to determine The switch of connection status between first node and power supply.
Write signal is also input to the gate electrode of first switch transistor 203 through phase inverter 202.Because first switch crystal Pipe 203 and second switch transistor 503 are the transistors for having different conduction-types, so working as the He of first switch transistor 203 When one of second switch transistor 503 turns on, another cut-off.
Therefore, when the first node is grounded and discharges electric charge, the electrical connection between the first node and power supply is cut off.When When one Node connectedness is to power supply, not input grounding current potential.
Using this structure, can prevent electric charge during the time of the first node ground connection from power input to the first knot Point, it can so realize the reduction of power consumption.
Controller circuitry of Fig. 6 diagrams with different structure.
Compared with the controller in Fig. 5, the controller in Fig. 6 includes NOR circuit 701 to replace phase inverter 202, wherein passing through Write signal is input to first switch transistor 203 and second switch transistor 503 by NOR circuit 701.Not only write signal, and And the write signal that the write signal and delay circuit 153 postponed including the delay circuit 703 of resistor and capacitor postpones is defeated Enter to NOR circuit 701.
Delay circuit 703 has the time delay longer than delay circuit 153.Delay circuit by input signal postpone when Between can be adjusted by known method of adjustment；But the time delay of the delay circuit in the present embodiment preferably passes through The electric capacity for changing the capacitor of delay circuit is adjusted.The time delay of the delay circuit can also be by changing resistor Resistance change；But the method for adjusting time delay by changing electric capacity more stably adjustment circuit can prolong The slow time.
When in three signals for being input to NOR circuit 701 it is at least one be H- level signals when, NOR circuit 701 export L- Level signal.That is, when in these signals it is at least one be H- level signals when, second switch transistor 503 is turned on by first Node is electrically connected to power supply.
Just as described in Example 1, when being input to the first capacitor 157 from delay circuit 153 by the write signal of delay When, due to Capacitance Coupled, the first node（M1）The current potential at place rises.Now, there are the grid for being connected to the first node in order to turn on The first transistor 159 of electrode, the first node need to keep corresponding with power supply potential electric charge, in other words, and non-required will connect Ground potential but need power supply potential being input to the first node.
, not only can be by directly inputting write signal OS_WE shown in circuit as shown in Figure 6, and can pass through The write signal that delay circuit 153 postpones and the write signal that delay circuit 703 postpones are input to NOR circuit 701 to extend NOR electricity During road output L- level signals.Because when the signal that delay circuit 153 postpones is input to the first capacitor 157, these At least any one is input into NOR circuit 701 in signal, so can be in the signal input that will be postponed by delay circuit 153 During to the first capacitor 157, power supply potential is definitely input to the first node.
Furthermore using be provided with the time delay longer than delay circuit 153 delay circuit 703 structure, Can also future self-dalay circuit 153 signal be input to the rear to the input signal of NOR circuit 701 of the first capacitor 157.Phase Ying Di, the current potential lifting caused by Capacitance Coupled can clearly turn on the first transistor 159, and can write data into Storage arrangement.
Controller described in the present embodiment includes more switching transistors than the controller described in embodiment 1, and And the connection between the first node M1 and power supply can be disconnected during not from power input current potential.Correspondingly, comprising this reality The storage arrangement for applying any one controller described in example has lower work(than the storage arrangement described in embodiment 1 Consumption.
In the present embodiment, using multiple delay circuits, extend the signal including being postponed by delay circuit 153 and 703 Signal be input to NOR circuit 701 during be possible.Power supply potential is input to the first transistor therefore, it is possible to extend During 159, so allow power supply potential clearly is input into the first transistor 159, untill bootstrapping operation is completed.
The present embodiment can be combined suitably with any other embodiment.

Because the coordination quantity of four-coordination O atom is 4, the adjacent O atom and the metallic atom that is disposed below Quantity and the quantity sum of the adjacent O atom and the metallic atom being positioned above are 4.
Correspondingly, the quantity of the four-coordination O atom above metallic atom and the four-coordination O below another metallic atom When the quantity sum of atom is 4, the small group of two types comprising these metallic atoms can be bonded.
For example, it is bonded hexa-coordinate metal by three four-coordination O atoms in lower half（In or Sn）In the case of atom, It is bonded to pentacoordinate metal（Ga or In）Atom or four-coordination metal（Zn）Atom.
Along c-axis direction, the metallic atom that coordination quantity is 4,5 or 6 is bonded to by another gold by four-coordination O atom Belong to atom.In addition to above, can by by multiple small moiety combinations so that the total electrical charge of hierarchy is 0 come with different Mode forms medium group.
The medium group A included in Fig. 8 A diagram In-Sn-Zn-O sills model.Fig. 8 B diagrams are medium comprising three The macoradical B of group.
Pay attention to, the atomic arrangement in the case of hierarchy of Fig. 8 C diagrams from c-axis direction in Fig. 8 B.
In medium group A, three-fold coordination O atom is omitted, and four-coordination O atom is shown with circle diagram；Numeral in circle shows four It is coordinated the quantity of O atom.For example, circle live 3 represent respectively be present in relative to Sn atoms the first half and lower half it is each Three four-coordination O atoms in one half part.Similarly, in medium group A, circle live 1 represent respectively be present in relative to A four-coordination O atom in the first half of In atoms and each half part of lower half.

It is by a four-coordination O atom that the Zn of In atomistic bindings to adjacent three four-coordination O atoms in the first half is former Son.Zn atoms are bonded in the first half and lower half by a four-coordination O atom in the lower half relative to Zn atoms The In atoms of adjacent three four-coordination O atoms in each half part.By a four-coordination O atom, In atomistic bindings to comprising The small group of two Zn atoms, and a four-coordination O atom in the adjacent first half.
This small group containing Zn is bonded to upper by a four-coordination O atom in the lower half relative to the small group The Sn atoms of three four-coordination O atoms are abutted in half portion and lower half in each half part.Multiple such medium groups are bonded, from And form macoradical.Herein, the electric charge of a key of the electric charge of three-fold coordination O atom and four-coordination O atom can respectively be assumed to- 0.667 and -0.5.
For example,（Hexa-coordinate or pentacoordinate）In atomic charges,（Four-coordination）Zn atomic charges and（Pentacoordinate six is matched somebody with somebody Position）Sn atomic charges are+3 ,+2 and+4 respectively.Correspondingly, the electric charge in the small group of the atom containing Sn is+1.Therefore, it is necessary to - 1 electric charge of payment+1 forms the hierarchy of the atom containing Sn.
As the structure with -1 electric charge, the small group containing two Zn as shown in structure E can be provided.For example, Using a small group containing two Zn atoms, the electric charge of a small group of the atom containing Sn can be offseted, so that hierarchy Total electrical charge can be 0.
When repeating macoradical B, In-Sn-Zn-O base crystal can be obtained（In2SnZn3O8）.
Pay attention to, the hierarchy of the In-Sn-Zn-O base crystal obtained can be expressed as composition formula, In2SnZn2O7 (ZnO) m （mIt is 0 or natural number）.
This is equally applicable to the situation for using the oxide semiconductor beyond In-Sn-Zn-O sills.
For example, the medium group L included in the hierarchy of Fig. 9 A diagram In-Ga-Zn-O sills model.
In the medium group L included in the hierarchy of In-Ga-Zn-O sills, by the order from top, pass through One four-coordination O atom, the In atomistic bindings of three four-coordination O atoms are abutted in each half part in the first half and lower half The Zn atoms of an adjacent four-coordination O atom into the first half.
Zn atoms are bonded in the first half and lower half by three four-coordination O atoms in the lower half relative to Zn atoms The Ga atoms of a four-coordination O atom are abutted in portion in each half part.Ga atoms pass through in the lower half relative to Ga atoms A four-coordination O atom be bonded in the first half and lower half the In of adjacent three four-coordination O atoms in each half part Atom.Multiple such medium groups are bonded, so as to form macoradical.
Fig. 9 B diagrams include the macoradical M of three medium groups.
Pay attention to, the atomic arrangement in the case of hierarchy of Fig. 9 C diagrams from c-axis direction in Fig. 9 B.Herein, because For（Hexa-coordinate or pentacoordinate）In atomic charges,（Four-coordination）Zn atomic charges and（Pentacoordinate）Ga atomic charges are distinguished It is+3 ,+2 and+3, so the electric charge of the small group containing any of In atoms, Zn atoms and Ga atoms is 0.
Therefore, the total electrical charge of the medium group of the combination with such small group is always 0.In order to form In-Ga-Zn-O The hierarchy of sill, medium group L can not be used only and using the arrangement of wherein In atoms, Ga atoms and Zn atoms Macoradical is formed different from the medium group of medium group L arrangement.
When repeating the macoradical shown in Fig. 9 B, the crystal of In-Ga-Zn base oxides can be obtained.Pay attention to, obtained The hierarchy of In-Ga-Zn base oxides can be expressed as composition formula, InGaO3(ZnO) n （nIt is natural number）.For example,n = 1（InGaZnO4）In the case of, the crystal structure shown in Figure 10 A can be obtained.Pay attention in the crystal structure in Figure 10 A, because Respectively there are 5 ligands as shown in Figure 7 B for Ga atoms and In atoms, it is possible to substitute Ga with In.
For example,n = 2（InGaZn2O5）In the case of, the crystal structure shown in Figure 10 B can be obtained.Pay attention to scheming In crystal structure in 10B, because Ga atoms and In atoms respectively have 5 ligands as described in Fig. 7 B, it is possible to use In To substitute Ga.

Next, perform heat treatment.Heat treatment performs in reduced atmosphere, in inert gas atmosphere or in oxidizing atmosphere. Pass through heat treatment, it is possible to reduce the impurity content in oxide semiconductor layer.
It is heat-treated and preferably performs in this way：Heat treatment is performed in reduced atmosphere or inert gas atmosphere Afterwards, keeping temperature is constant is switched to oxidizing atmosphere by atmosphere, and further performs heat treatment.In reduced atmosphere or inert gas When heat treatment is performed in atmosphere, the impurity content in oxide semiconductor layer can be reduced；But also result in Lacking oxygen.It is logical The heat treatment crossed in oxidizing atmosphere, caused Lacking oxygen can be reduced.
By performing heat treatment to oxide semiconductor layer in addition to heating substrate when film is formed, can significantly drop Impurity level in low film.Thereby, it is possible to increase the field-effect mobility of transistor, to approach the ideal field to be described later Effect mobility.
